- New endgame mode (WIP) - 1 March 2020
Hey everyone, finally I have something to share with you. Currently i'm working on a new end-game mode called "Tower of Ascension" (name may be changed in future), in this mode monsters are getting stronger with every floor and every 5th floor you will face a guardian of the tower. How to get there To get to the tower you need a key, you can get it from monsters as a random drop (same as treasure maps) or buy it inside the tower after defeating a guardian. Monsters Mostly they are the same as in nightmares, but much stronger. Guardians Guardians are strong bosses with 5 skills each. Guardians have rage resource and will use "ultimate" skills. Currently I've created 4 of them but later i will create more, at least one for each possible "class". Ascended Knight (Sword + Shield) Medium damage, very tanky but have no healing skills. Ascended Assassin (Dual Daggers) High damage, high mobilit…
- Further development - 18 December 2019
Hi everyone! Unfortunately I can't continue developing Dark Bestiary at full time, I've found a job and now I have 1-2 free hours every day :( I will still continue development but it will be more chaotic and unregular than before. Here is small recap of recent month: - Scrolls of Enchantment - new droppable items that allow you to upgrade your gear, similar to gems but some of them have unique effects. - Alchemy split into potions and transmutation - Lots of bugs fixed, most of them was minor but some was really painful like summons that blocks exit. I really want to thank you for your feedback and suggestions, i have a huuuuge ToDo list :D Thank you for playing Dark Bestiary
